• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_REPORTS058 - Error in RFC call ?

  The SAP error message ICL_REPORTS058: Error in RFC call typically indicates that there was an issue during a Remote Function Call (RFC) operation. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to execute a function module remotely or when there is a communication problem between systems.
  Causes:
  
  Network Issues: Problems with the network connection between the SAP systems can lead to RFC call failures.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the RFC call may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration of the RFC destination (e.g., incorrect IP address, port, or user credentials).
  Function Module Issues: The function module being called may not exist, may be inactive, or may have been changed in a way that affects its execution.
  System Performance: High load on the system or performance issues can lead to timeouts or failures in processing the RFC call.
  Transport Layer Issues: Problems with the transport layer or middleware that handles the RFC calls.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that there is proper network connectivity between the systems involved in the RFC call. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to diagnose network issues.
  Verify RFC Destination: Go to transaction SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination. Ensure that the connection parameters (like host, service, user, and password) are correct.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the RFC call has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  Review Function Module: Check if the function module being called is active and exists in the system. You can do this in transaction SE37 or SE80.
  Monitor System Performance: Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor system performance and check for any locks or long-running processes that might be affecting the RFC call.
